She & Him is an amazing and romantic musical band, consisting of two members, of course: Zooey Deschanel and Matthew Ward.
The band has been active since 2006 until the present, with the origins in Portland, Oregon- the US.
The genres they cover are Indie pop, alternative country, and indie folk.
We are sure you hear at least one time their most loved song, I'll Be Home For Christmas.
The song, as you may already know, is a Christmas song, written by Kim Gannon and composed by Walter Kent. I'll Be Home For Christmas was originally recorded in 1943 by Bing Crosby, who scored a top ten hit with it.
The song was also recorded by Bing Crosby and released on 1st of October 1943, with the title I'll Be Home for Christmas (If Only in My Dreams), as a 78 rpm single.
The song was again a success, topping the charts for more than 11 weeks.
I'll Be Home for Christmas had also been covered by other artists like Johnny Mathis in 1958, Frank Bormand and Jim Lovell, Kelly Clarkson, Josh Groban, or even the King, Elvis Presley in 1957. Some of them changed or adapted the song’s lyrics by their wish.
It was also used in commercials and lots of movies.
The story behind the free I'll Be Home For Christmas piano sheet music is that it was written in the honor of the soldiers overseas who couldn’t be at home for Christmas.
The song’s theme is about a soldier stationed overseas during World War II, who is writing a letter to his family. In his letter, he is telling his family that he will be coming home and they should prepare the holidays for him and take him into consideration also for the meal and presents.
His special requests are snow, mistletoe, and presents on the Christmas tree.
The songline is a melancholic one, and it ends in a very nice and full of hope note:
I’ll be home for Christmas,
If only in my dreams.
The instruments present in the original free I'll Be Home for Christmas piano sheets are piano, voice, guitar, and the lovely jingle bells.
